''You look good Zhan, if you want to hear the lie than"

Mr.Kim looked into the mirror. Witnessing the reflection of a pair of lifeless eyes, that of a broken angel. The angel is long dead from inside with no sign of life remaining. Not the sparkle in his beautiful pair of ocean deep eyes, not even the soft life-giving smile. The angel is silent with no feelings left.

''I never asked anything nor doubted you but my heart wants me to forbid you from this decision'' ''can you not?''

The silence is deafening for a ceremony like wedding. It's cold, dark, numb.

''What's with Wang Yibo?''

The pair of lotus petals moved for a bit, the look adorning a hidden expectation which only the observant ones can find out.

''I was in his office when you called me Zhan''

Zhan lowered his gaze.

''Ge...''

''This brother knows where your heart reside'' "Let's go back''

''No''

''Our life is simple and short don't make it complicated''

''What if time is complicated?'' he asked like wispering.

''Loved ones can heal you''

''I'm the one responsible for their pain''

''You represents strength not weakness''

''I don't deserve anyone'' he looked up to not let the tears flow.

''You deserve the world zhan''

''I have to save my uncle''

''not with your life''

''I have nothing more to offer'' he looked exhausted more like defeated.

''You have to fight back''

''I can't''

''why Zhan? Why can't you fight back?''

''Whom I'll fight with? With him. I'll rather die than labelling him as a fraud who tried to frame my uncle''

''But he did this. You can't deny''

''He is a leo who never forgets his revenge'' Zhan mumbled which didn't reach mr Kim's ear.

''Don't do this zhan. Everything will be alright. Have faith''

''Faith abandoned me long ago ge.. I'm a stranger even to myself''

''This is not a solution'' Mr kim tried to argue.

''It's important right now''

''You have choices''

''still I won't choose'' Zhan replied with a broken smile.

''Why Zhan?''

''This is my only chance to make everything right.''

''Who are you lying?''

''I have to give up before every resolution of mine break down, I have to do this for my...'' he let out a silent sob.

''complete the sentence Zhan...''

"With time I won't be able to resist the urge to be near him" he continued ''let me do this ge..'' the beautiful pair of lotus eyes pleaded ''I have to stay away from him''

''Don't hurt yourself Zhan''

''I'm a curse for people around me''

''No zhan.. You are the greatest gift god has offered to us..why you think like this?''
